Yesteryear and

Yesterday are the same

In her fading world where numbers

Read like letters.

She dreams sometimes

 In German, French, English

What language will exist, if any

When she wakes up?

Her pockets

Full of once explosive

Bomb shards that still remain after

The battle ends.

On daggered heels

She wields unsharpened knives

Through a foreign bloody mass, then

Cuts her wires.

In this new dark

Age fighting with the light,

How long is it before

It all disappears?
